TITLE

SSH have Ipswitch WS_FTP Server Vulnerable to buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in Ipswitch WS_FTP Server with SSH 6.1.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long opendir command. Ipswitch WS_FTP is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service. This issue affects WS_FTP 6.1.0.0; other versions may also be affected. Progress Software Ipswitch WS_FTP Server is a set of file transfer solutions provided by Progress Software in the United States. It provides functions such as file transfer control and transfer encryption. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the SSH Server Service (SSHServer.exe) when handling arguments to the "opendir" command. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long argument to the affected command. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in IpSwitch WS_FTP Server with SSH version 6.1. SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to the SSH Server Service.
